Hi all, I've gone through the SGML documentation, trying to push the output HTML towards HTML 4.01 compliance. By far the most common problem I found was incorrect nesting of <para> nodes, which results in invalid HTML. A common idiom I encountered was SGML like this: <para> ... <simplelist> ... </simplelist> ... </para> This SGML would then produce HTML which looked like this: <p> ... <table> ... </table> ... </p> This HTML fails validation, as one isn't supposed to be stuffing tables inside <p> nodes. The attached patch fixes all the instances of this I could find, by closing out <para> nodes before beginning lists and tables. I used the w3c-markup-validator package and the web service at validator.w3.org to test HTML validity. A handy Perl package I found for this was WebService::Validator, which includes the example script "validate_files_in_dir.pl" to easily validate a directory full of html files. With this patch, the number of invalid HTML files has been reduced to 16 from many dozens.
